Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe
When the user starts a workspace from a typical Devfile with a database,
(e.g.: https://github.com/che-samples/java-spring-petclinic/blob/devfilev2/devfile.yaml)
he/she needs to open a terminal into more than one container.
But Che-IDEA supports a terminal for the editor's container only.
So, there's no way to execute a command in a DB container's terminal.
Describe the solution you'd like
It can be a plugin that adds the support for opening a terminal into the specified sidecar container using the machine-exec component. Like Che-Theia and Che-Code do.
Describe alternatives you've considered
As this task is quite complex, first, we need to investigate how it can be implemented, e.g.: plugin API, some 3-rd party libraries, etc.
